    Anti-authoritarian communism is a thing. I think mostly the issue folks here in this thread are taking with you is equating communism with authoritarianism. And I don’t think anyone in this thread is pro-China or defending censoring content critical of China. Quite the opposite in fact.

      But communism doesn’t work. All countries that implement communism have restrictions on free speech to hide the fact that it is a broken system.

      The reason communism doesn’t work is because people have no incentives to work. You can complain about the evils of the corporate empires but they at least have a motivation to improve even if that is sometimes at the expense of the people
